Stream your own films and TV in the Netherlands
Why it suits the Netherlands
- Fast fibre in many cities — but slow uploads at home are what remote streaming depends on
- Roaming, trains and holiday homes where mobile data or shared Wi-Fi is all there is
- Subtitles and multiple audio tracks for every language your household speaks

From Amsterdam to everywhere else
Run the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven, on the road, or abroad. Quality is re-checked every three seconds, so the film keeps playing when the signal drops instead of buffering.
Subtitles and audio in Dutch
Every subtitle and audio track in your files is offered in the player. Name subtitle files with a language code and they're matched automatically:
- My Film (2024).nl.srt — Dutch
Questions from Netherlands
Does Silux Media work in the Netherlands?
Yes. The server runs on your own computer, so it works anywhere you have electricity and internet — in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague or a village far from fibre. You can watch on your home network, or remotely from anywhere.
How much mobile data does a film use?
In our measurements, about 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p — compared with 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour for Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Can I watch with Dutch subtitles?
Yes — Silux Media picks up subtitle files next to your films and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, in any language.
Which currency can I pay in?
The self-hosted server is free. Optional paid plans are billed in EUR (or GBP/EUR/USD) through our website — never inside the apps.
